Started using your techniques at my work, getting better everytime, customers are over the moon with the results, money and time saved. Thank you😊
Thank you for taking all the extra time to make these videos. You approach things differently from any of the other channels and make these fixes seem approachable to people who don’t have all of the pro equipment. I’ve been enjoying learning from you. Keep it up!
I also second that comment
Great feedback thanks
Every car body shop in the country must hate this guy. Giving out all the tricks of the trade to save people money...how refreshing is that👍
Nothing less than brilliant. And that's coming from the nephew of a 50yr veteran panelbeater who never told me anything more than the basics. Thank you so much for sharing all these tricks of the trade. Priceless!
Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻👊🏻
@@cvrpov can order from USA?
You just can't argue with results such as what you have here. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
No nonsense paintwork repairs, brilliant channel 😎
Thanks mate that's exactly what I'm trying to achieve
Great video but could hardly hear you over the polisher
But the result looked perfect to me 😊
Yes I wasn't aware of this. Probably talking rubbish anyway
I put on the subtitles...
So impressed by this.. it seems so easy when done by a professiona...I've never had the courage to start on paint/bodywork repairs but your approach is really almost simplistic to watch...gotta be worth a try...thanks for posting
Thank you so much for this mate! Not many people share their tricks. Thanks again for a great vid ❤
No problem 👍
Common sense and genuine encouragement! Thank you for all your tips and tricks.
Thanks for watching!
Another fantastic video iv been watching you for years and your content genuinely is as straightforward as it gets you explain it in a way that anyone can attempt it. Iv learn so much, I'm a moblie valeter by trade and all the tricks iv picked up over the years helps me offer a better service....so big respect to you.
Much appreciated. Thanks for the support
Where you based mate I’ve got a some chips and a few scratches that need sorting is that something you can do? @nailz84
WOW!! Awesome of you sharing your expertise & secrets. Cheers Mate!! You THE MAN!!
Thanks for the valuable information. It's definitely encouraging and takes away the guess work
Very interesting approach. As a DIYer with an interest in keeping our car tidy without going crazy on $£€¥ I get that simply filling a deep scratch with basecoat is a quick simple way to bring the paint surface back up to level without using paint putty and all that hassle .. but I wouldn't have thought of rubbing a base coat laden cloth over the existing clear top coat then sanding/buffing. Intriguing!
Looks fantastic, you’re an artist with mad skills!
Just found your channel and it’s brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques. For somebody with not a lot of money, this is a real life saver! Just for future reference. It’s hard to hear you sometimes when you’re using the machine. Mot sure if you can do anything about and it certainly won’t stop me watching you content. Just subscribed btw😊
Thanks again for your time and excellent guides to help us all with car issues.
No problem
Excellent presentation! Clear description and awesome result!
Glad it was helpful!
Videos for ordinary people to follow. Excellent 👍
That's what this channel is about mate so I hope that comes across
Really good tips. Seen this technique done before and is was mind blowing 🤯 No brushes, toothpicks, etc. Just 1 index finger.
Works great on the right damage
This is a great series of videos, I’ve got road rash on the rear arches of my car and going to try this and your other techniques to tidy it up. 👍
Great stuff thanks
Thanks mate. I’ve had a door scratch off a non licensed/insured non English chap who wasn’t too pleasant…I haven’t had a cost for it yet. But looking at this I’m prepared to buy a Halfords Colour code kit and have a go myself before I get ripped…thank you so much👍
You sir are a magician, incredible work and talent.
Thank you! Cheers!
Your knowledge is worth your weight in gold 🤩
Absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t have believed a technique like this would work as well as it did if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. I have a similar project to do on my own car. Hope it works out as well for me!
No problem mate, good luck and enjoy the hobby
Hey now. That’s amazing looking 👀. Great video thank you.
Awesome work mate, cheers from Down Under.
What a great skill to have. I remember going to a garage to view a car years ago and running a mile when I saw the scratches and chips on it. I though the salesman was having a laugh when he said it was waiting 'prep'.
Just lazy to be honest
I really like this channel. Can’t wait to do it on my vehicles.
fantastic video mate thanks for uploading this.
No problem
So far Saved me an absolute fortune mate 👏👍
That's great
Mate that looks fantastic I’ve going to give that a try thankyou
Good stuff mate
Beautiful job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work
Thank you for all your effort teaching us
Thank you Sir, I've learned a few of your techniques. Saved me some good cash.
GREAT video! Looks flawless to me!!!
Great transformation best wishes thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you too
Thanks for posting, very helpful.
Wow! Awesome job! Thank you so much. Brilliant.
A timely video. I bought a 22-year-old BMW last week, and as one would expect, it's got quite a bit of road rash, door dings, and scratches. I may give your techniques a try before i take it to a body shop.
Thankyou for sharing these videos mate, much appreciated.
Glad you like them!
Having watched how you do it, the result is really surprising. Looks great.
Thanks for watching
Great video excellent job
Really enjoyed your demonstration video
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
thanks again from Perth WA. I am learning a lot from you for minor paint repairs on both daughters car, thanks for keeping them to around 10 minutes makes it easier to absorb, basically, solvent paint, 1500 and 2000 grit and a good compound with a DA or rotary and you can go a long way for DIY repairs if we follow your steps.
Also from Perth 🤙
Great video!!! I will try this method
Please do! Cheers
Nice work & nice product! Do you ship outside the UK also (like Netherlands)?
Awesome mate, Truly great result! Well done thanks for sharing
No problem 👍
Excellent , a body shop would charge a fortune and you made it look so easy, 👍
Perhaps but a good body and paint shop would sand the paint down past the defects, primer it, paint it, and it would be a permanent repair... The only thing I don't know about this type of "repair" is How Long does it last???
Love your videos, what do you use to prep the area before using paint. Wax remover or do you use anything?
This was great!!!! Thank you so much I have before and after photos however there is no option to upload them
Another excellent video. Thanks for uploading 😊
My pleasure!
Nice work. what compound did you use? it cuts well and gives a good finish
Great video. Quick question, can you use one of the thin brushes in the paint geat kit to fill the scratch. If so would you leave it until the paint has completely dried or would you buff it after a shorter time. Thank you for your informative videos.
Great videos! Thank you for sharing your expertise. This simple diy approach is much appreciated. Wondering whether this technique would also work on paint damage from type II bird fractured etching?
Check my other bird muck removal vids. This method doesn't really work on it unfortunately
@cvrpov thanks for the reply mate. I still gave it a try since the technic is really effortless and yes you are correct it didn't have the same results as in your video, though still there is a huge improvement compared to the initial condition. Thanks a lot again for sharing your ideas and expertise. Saved me from big spending.
Please tell me what kind of black solvent based paint you used? The base cost on my 2004 Corvette is water based. What should I buy?
Very satisfying to watch.
Excellent content! Does this last in terms of time. Once the polish wears away from the weather, do you end up with a flat finish that needs polishing again? Thanks
Very surprised at the finish!! Great informative video
Cheers
Nicely done! Only thing I would add is don't do this (especially the compounding part) outside in direct sunlight (although that applies to pretty much all polishing materials).
Yep I agree
Definitely a huge improvement. Thanks
No problem!
Greatly apreciate your videos. Thank you buddy ❤
Glad you like them!
Great video, such an eye opener what can be done without full respray. I really could do with this sort of work on my car. Can I book this in with you?
Great DIY. I might just try this technique on a scratch in my bumper. How long are you waiting after you have applied the touch up paint before you started wet sanding and or polishing?
Brilliant video, saving us some money for sure mate 👍
Glad I could help
Great tutorials. Did you remove polish before rubbing the paint in.
Class.loving ur videos.thankyou
No probs
Hello. Good work one quick question from a noob. Do you mix paint hardener into the paint? No need for a clearcoat before polishing?
Thanks for your time
New subscriber from the 1st vid i saw of yours you had me at hello:) and also love the fact the narration was drowned out by the buffing tool 😂 im not hating i got the the gist of it... amazing stuff!!
Thanks for watching
A couple of people have mentioned that with the audio..strange as it was fine on my computer but I'll look into that in future thx
that is just amazing content az i allways say stunning work great channel great work fairplay bro you are just a legend on what you do and shair to all on youtube
Kian your support is always appreciated man
Hi there, I’m in the UK been watching your videos. What is the best rattle can lacquer for repairing a diamond cut wheel? Thanks for any advice Given.
Awesome videos.. Don't mind them being a longer because the info and education value is priceless.
People can always speed up or fast forward if they haven't got the patience.
Have watch 2 videos from you, love it! And i will try My self now in spring.
But can you please write in the description what you exactly use in your video in detail
From Sweden, love😊
Thank you for the video. Like button👍.
What compund can I use? I live in Florida USA and can"t find in stores the one you use. Looking to do this project ASAP.
THANK YOU
Any heavy cut compound will do mate
That's brilliant man. I've got a black car but it's not on the road but my silver car is peppered on the front. I think it might be harder to do but I do have a white peppered van too that it will probably work on 😂 I want to do them all now ffs great work mate
Great video and results! Where do you get “put in your needed color” solvent base coat at? Does solvent base coat go by any other names?Can you tell us the buffer machine you used and pads and where we can buy them? Thanks!
Very good work but it would be good if you said how you prepare the paint and also how long it takes to dry or how long it can be polished thanks
Didn't really prepare the paint. Just make sure it's fairly clean beforehand. The rubbed in paint was left about 10 mins
Absolutely brilliant, great vid & thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've got a black car that's peppered with chips on the front, so you've inspired me to have a crack, cheers 👍
Cheers
I'm just new to your channel and have a few questions. #1 at what speed do you run your buffer? #2 did you clearcoat and if not how do you blend that into the clearcoated portion? Thank you for posting these, I have much catching up to do. TTFN
Probably clearcoat mixed with base color and then applied
Thank you very much! Do you think we can do this multiple times, say once every year, and the lacquer will be fine because we just rub off that excess paint that we have applied on the surface?
I wouldn't recommend that. You will remove some clear when the excess is being removed.
OK, i see! Thanks!@@cvrpov
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Very good results, as usual!
And besides being pretty sure that's single-stage paint, I wanted to mention that I've seen some lady in Instagram (DetailGirl, I think) that actually smears on the paint (with a vilt) and then she goes straight to buffing - without sanding.
I suppose that's an option as well. Only on big chips she touches up with a toothpick and sands those a little prior to buffing.
Your input is always appreciated though, CVR POV. Thank you for sharing! 🙂🙏
awesome! do you have tips for fixing pealing clearcoat?
Brilliant video again, most of the cars you do are dark in colour, I have severe road rash on front drivers side valence on bumper, hypnotic silver is the colour, will this method work for me?
I have done some on various colours. Silvers are not great tho ill be honest
Absolutely outstanding video tutorial, my black BMW is exactly like this, see the paint you use, is it and specific type of paint as I heard u mention solvent? I know it's needs to be the same paint code but what should I ask for and where can I get it from? As I fancy taking a pint at this myself, I've polished the car but the bumper really does wind me up, thanks in advance buddy 👍🏻
Edit: found it, how much would I need to do a full front bumper like the one in this video?
You can get away with using just black on black cars. The eye struggles to pick up any difference.
Love it absolutely amazing . Question. How long should you leave the paint to dry ?
About 10 mins using this method
Great video... Am I right in thinking this method would only work on 2k paints, I wouldn't imagine you'd get that much gloss without a clear coat? Yove got great gloss having only polished over a topcoat colour.. Awesome vid
Hello and by the way, very interesting video. Quick question: when you apply the paint to the bumper with your finger and microfiber, is it just paint or a paint/varnish mixture? And how long do you wait before polishing?
Thanks in advance.
Greg from France
Hi Greg. It is just neat solvent Automotive basecoat
@@cvrpov Ok. Thanks for the feedback.
But how long do you wait before wet sanding?
Is it completely dry?
@@thebreton29 - You have to wait for every step to be completely dry...
Du coup j'ai pas compris, c'est quoi exactement? Peinture avec mélange contenant du vernis?
Hi and thanks for the very informative video👍🏾I have a Misano Blue car. Can I use
any blue solvent paint to do this technique?
Yes you can!
@@cvrpov Thanks very much. So the touch up paint that you can get online, can be used? The filling in ones? Are they solvent?
Great video great channel
Thank you!
Excellent Job
Thank you! Cheers!
very impressive!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job
I love it ❤❤.thanks .that's amazing
I only have premixed paint to color match in a spray can. Does it work as well as the paint you are using or is it too thin? I´d spray a little bit into the plastic cap and apply it from there...
Usually too thin to be of any use in this method unfortunately
that was amazing. now I have to dig out my old rotory polisher and give it a go. 1 question. are you using the same paint coded paint or something very close to it
Something close will work on certain colours
@@cvrpov great, good to know
Did not think it would of turned out so well
This is great!
Simply brilliant .
Thank you! Cheers!
One question,after sanding you added more paint so after you added more paint you waited till its get dry and just then polished or you did it on wet?
One word, awesome
Cheers
Very good job! How long this work will last? I m curius because there is no lacquer
Seems to hold up pretty well.
Got a quote for 1k to respray the side of a mk6 fiesta because some turnip keyed it...previous owner must have enemies 😂 i got some panther black rattle can spray. Fingered the life out the panels with the paint. I didn't trust the depth of paint to hit it with any sand paper. But i did machine polish a plenty. It really does look so much better. Hardly visible. Perfect for an ageing car. It doesnt have to be perfect. Just presentable.
